Radiation therapy‐associated toxicity: Etiology, management, and prevention
Ca-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 2021 Radiation therapy (RT) is a curative treatment for many malignancies and provides effective palliation in patients with tumor‐related symptoms. However, the biophysical effects of RT are not specific to tumor cells and may produce toxicity due to ...

Oxygen-Guided Radiation Therapy [PDF]
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2019 It has been known for over 100 years that tumor hypoxia, a near-universal characteristic of solid tumors, decreases the curative effectiveness of radiation therapy. However, to date, there are no reports that demonstrate an improvement in radiation effectiveness in a mammalian tumor on the basis of tumor hypoxia localization and local hypoxia treatment.

Deep learning method for prediction of patient-specific dose distribution in breast cancer
Radiation Oncology, 2021 Background Patient-specific dose prediction improves the efficiency and quality of radiation treatment planning and reduces the time required to find the optimal plan. In this study, a patient-specific dose prediction model was developed for a left-sided
